  12. Cruise passenger • Collects countries & emotions • Loves legends & stories • More positively impressed than an average foreign visitor • Returning tourist (probability of 50%) • Seen this, done that

  13. What we sell • We have been here for 4,500 years • The oldest capital city in the Baltic Sea area • The World’s highest building • The World’s oldest continuously functioning apothecary • The World’s biggest choir • Ultima Thule where the Sun beds down • Capital of Sweden

  14. Why? • Cruise ships are mobile, ports they call are not.

  15. Itinerary planning (1) • If you don’t go full, you won’t make money. • Port cost is considered when planning the itinerary. Fuel cost is not. Frank del Rio • Should you wish to have smaller cruisers, differentiate port dues and charges for vessels with 100 pax on board and 2000 pax on board. Mark Conroy

  16. Itinerary planning (2) • Must include 2 full days in St.Petersburg • Most passengers will only cruise the Baltic once, so tend to desire famous cities on the itinerary and tend to desire as many countries as possible • First choice ports of call are those on the most direct route • US passenger product is usually 12 nights to keep the whole holiday inside 2 weeks • UK passengers have more time, but companies need to be price-competitive, so offer a 12-17 night range Nigel R. Lingard, Fred Olsen

  17. The world is a book. And those who do not travel read only one page. Augustine of Hippo Roman philosopher and theologian

  18. Welcome to Estonia Estonia as it is. Nordic with a twist. Unique and magical. Positive and invigorating. A rich heritage that inspires everything we do. Lots of mystery and the taste of ancient times. Castles. Ecological haven. Lakes and islands. Countryside of great scenic beauty with many forests. Wonder of white nights. The innovative and creative solutions of tomorrow.
